Product Information

Full details

The Hep2O 15mm Keyless Straight Connector is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on domestic water distribution and central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the innovative In4Sure joint recognition technology, which provides tactile confirmation that a pipe is fully inserted, ensuring a secure, leak-proof seal. While it offers unparalleled convenience and speed, users should be aware that it is specifically designed for 15mm pipe systems and requires proper pipe preparation to maintain the integrity of the connection.

FAQs

Can I use these fittings with copper pipe?

Yes, the Hep2O 15mm connector is fully compatible with standard 15mm copper pipe as well as Hep2O polybutylene pipes.

Do I need a special tool to disconnect the pipe?

No, this is a keyless system designed for hand demounting, removing the need for additional plastic release tools.

Is this suitable for high-pressure central heating?

Yes, it is designed for use in domestic water distribution and central heating systems within standard operating pressure limits.

What does the 50-year guarantee cover?

The guarantee covers manufacturing defects under normal operating conditions. Consult the official Hep2O documentation for full terms.

How do I know the pipe is fully inserted?

The In4Sure technology provides a distinct tactile feel that signals the pipe has reached the correct depth within the fitting.

Troubleshooting

Pipe feels loose after insertion

Ensure the pipe is cut to the correct length and pushed firmly until the In4Sure indicator is triggered. Re-seat the pipe if necessary.

Difficulty demounting the fitting

Ensure the fitting is not under mechanical strain. Relieve any pressure or tension on the pipe and ensure the release collar is fully compressed by hand.

Minor weeping at the joint

Remove the pipe, check for surface scratches or debris on the end, re-cut the pipe end square, and re-insert firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and efficient installation process
  • No specialized tools required for demounting
  • Tactile confirmation of secure joint connection
  • Compatible with both plastic and copper pipes
  • Industry-leading 50-year guarantee

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm pipe diameter
  • Requires proper pipe preparation to prevent leaks
  • Cost may be higher than traditional compression fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the pipe end is cut square and is free from burrs or sharp edges. Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until the In4Sure indicator confirms full insertion. For demounting, simply twist and pull the release mechanism by hand—no external tools are required. This fitting is compatible with 15mm copper pipe and standard Hep2O polybutylene pipes. To maintain the system, keep the pipe ends clean during installation and avoid using jointing compounds or lubricants on the fitting internals, as these are not required and may compromise the seal.
